Less than a month to go......he still doesn't have his "Guests" link up and working......I'm afraid this is it.

 

Also, Lou Ferrigno and Brian Pulido have backed out.

 

A couple more cancellations...no idea who they are. Mr. Golden and Mr. Sudyam.

 

And Bernie will now only be there part of Saturday! doh!

It is early isn't it. Between that and the crappy guest list.....I'm less than enthused. Hopefully I can get a couple decent books.

I'm not sure whether I'm gonna make it or not now. I have to get ready for a trade show that's on Sunday and may have to work on Saturday. :( It will be tough to say no since I just demanded a raise last week.
